The University of South Carolina (USC) was awarded a $2,039,629 Project Grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The 3-year grant, which began on August 1, 2023, will support the development and refinement of software tools to visualize and analyze data collected through the Brain Initiative.

Key activities include:

  • Extending the EZBids software to ease the creation of shared data, improve intention prediction, make defacing more robust, provide visual confirmation for automated steps, and facilitate transfer of anonymized data to public repositories.
  • Developing the AFNIIVue desktop tool to provide a modern interface for interacting with the AFNI numerical tools.
  • Creating cloud-based NIICloud web pages to aid scientists in configuring image processing, analyses, and inspecting results.
  • Delivering the IPYNIIVue Jupyter Notebook-based visualization tool for Python users.

The software solutions are designed to address gaps created by the increasing prevalence of cloud-based analyses and easily shared data formats in neuroimaging research.
